The main objects of this invention are to provide a container which may be readily mounted on a wall; and further to provide a removable receptacle fitting within the con. taincr; and further to provide a vremovable receptacle spring-pressed in fitting position tensionally held within the container.

An illustrative embodiment 'is shown in the accompanying drawings wherein Figure l is perspective front elevation of the assembled wall pocket; f

Figure 2 is a perspective view of an insert member; and

Figure 3 is a sectional view of the structure mounted on a wall and taken on line 3--3 of Figure l.

The construction shown in the drawings comprises the container 1 having a rear wall 2, front wall 3 and angularly disposed An insert member 5 having a back portion 6 and a top portion 7 is adapted to detachably fit within the container, its back portion 6 lying adjacent the inner side of the rear wall of the container. This back portion of the insert member is provided with a pair of bayonet slots 8 which register with a similar' pair of bayonet slots 9 in the rear wall 2 of the container. Screws 10 in the Wall 11 are provided for mounting the container and its insert member. These screws are spaced to register with the bayonet slots in the rear wall of the container and those in the back portion of the insert member.
